Mariners outfielder Spencer Packard drove in three runs on a bases-loaded double to give the Javelinas the early advantage. More »

Mesa 8, Scottsdale 8 (10 innings)
A game that featured multiple lead changes, 21 hits and 16 runs ended in the most logical way possible. There was no shortage of notable performances, with Zack Gelof leading the way for the Solar Sox. The No. 3 A's prospect doubled, singled and drove in a pair of runs while reaching safely three times. Gelof also swiped his second base of the fall. Teammate Victor Mesa Jr. collected a pair of triples, one coming with a little help from the sun, and an RBI. The 13th-ranked Marlins prospect is carrying a .235 average but sports an .892 OPS on the strength of five extra-base hits. Nick Yorke lifted his average to .326 with an RBI double and a single. The No. 4 Red Sox prospect has three multihit performances in his past four games. Box score »
